Product Description

Pro-Ject Debut III S is an audiophile grade turntable with a distinctive S-shape tonearm that sets it apart from the other widely available models in the iconic Debut series which utilise straight tonearms.

Debut III S Audiophile has been created by using the very best R&D, from an already established design, and has added new features, technology and styling to give a new spin on an iconic range.

S-Shape Arm

The S-shape tonearm conveys a classic aesthetic with retro styling, and it is very sturdy whilst being lightweight. The tonearm is constructed from one piece aluminium, so it can navigate your records with ease. Supplied with a brand new Ortofon cartridge pre-installed on the tonearm.

Pick-IT 25

Designed exclusively for Pro-Ject, the Pick-IT 25 A is a moving-magnet cartridge based on the popular Ortofon OM series. The cartridge employs highly conductive silver spools in the generator system for a superior sound performance. The result of using the Pick-IT 25 MM cartridge, is a warm and harmonic, audiophile quality sound.

Great Sound

To ensure that your records spin stability and silently, the Debut III S Audiophile uses the recognised Debut design with the same belt-drive motor, AC generator and 12” platter assembly as on the award-winning Debut Carbon models. Performance has been improved due to the new specially designed aluminium/TPE isolation feet. These isolation feet have been developed initially for the more expensive models in the Pro-Ject range, effectively decoupling the playback platform from all unwanted vibrations.

New 'P' Logo

This is the first model to feature Pro-Ject's new ‘P’ logo on the top of the high-gloss MDF plinth and on the dust cover. Pro-Ject have also included various convenient accessories, such as the Connect-IT E turntable-ready RCA cables and a 12" felt mat. This turntable is available in either high-gloss black or white finish, giving you a choice to match your listening room.

Press Reviews

"There are a few upgrades on the Debut format here, which aim to give credence to the ‘audiophile’ moniker. The S refers to the S-shaped tonearm, the first time such a design has appeared on a Debut turntable." (What Hi-Fi Magazine April 2018)

"There’s a good level of detail and decent dynamics, and the Pro-Ject handles the full sonic spectrum without wavering. Treble notes are crisp and bass drums are solid. Timing is mostly spot-on, with only the most challenging tracks lacking a little momentum and drive compared to class-leaders... The more expensive Planar 2 might dig up more detail, but you won’t feel remotely short-changed by what this Debut can do." (What Hi-Fi Magazine April 2018)

"Product ranges don’t hang around for the best part of 20 years without reason. The S III Audiophile is solidly designed and smartly finished - and though there may be a new logo and tonearm design, it’s a chip off the old block. All in all, this is another excellent Pro-Ject Debut turntable and one you need to hear." (What Hi-Fi Magazine April 2018)
